It was a wonderful trip with many great experiences with a wonderful group and a competent guide, Mena. He told us interesting and funny things about South Africa and Cape Town, and he did not shy away from discussing some sad chapters of the past. The only thing that truly dampened the experience was that we could not visit Table Mountain due to heavy rain in the afternoon. I received the refunded money, hopefully next time!

We had an amazing time with Sedick Peterson as our guide. He spoke 7 languages and was very knowledge about South African history and current affairs. He shared many beautiful experiences and stories of Cape Town and South Africa. We loved the different locations from Table Mountain, Penguins at Simon's town, Cape Point and honorary mentions were Bo kkap, the baboons and ostrichs. The views were beautiful and Sedick made the experience at each location even more memorable. Definitely a day well spent and recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Sedick... you will have an amazing time :)

He talked a lot about the local area and what we were seeing. The penguin experience was overrated because of our past experience but is you only saw penguins at a zoo I’m sure they would have enjoyed the experience.
Dear Valued Client, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing Beyond Africa Safaris for your Cape Town tour experience. We are pleased to hear that your guide provided informative commentary throughout the journey and helped share insights about the local area and the places visited along the way. We believe local knowledge and storytelling are an important part of helping guests connect more deeply with the destination. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the penguin experience. We understand that travel experiences can vary greatly depending on previous encounters, and for guests who may have already had close experiences with penguins elsewhere, Boulders Beach may feel different from expectations. However, for many visitors, seeing African penguins in their natural coastal habitat is a unique and memorable highlight of the Cape Peninsula. At Beyond Africa Safaris, we value all guest feedback as it helps us better understand different perspectives and continue improving the overall experience we provide.

This tour packs a lot in a full day! We started with a ride up the incline to Table Mountain then stopped at Bo-Kaap for pictures and a quick history lesson in the morning. Next stop was a fabulous lunch overlooking the ocean with a great view. In the afternoon we watched the penguins frolicking in the ocean then took pictures at “the sign” at the Cape of Good Hope then climbed up to the lighthouse. We capped off the day with a ride home along the beaches to watch the sun set over the Atlantic. Gift was a fabulous guide and made sure everything went smoothly. He knew all the shortcuts to make sure we saw everything without feeling rushed. What a great day!
